Driving down I-5, feeling kinda witty Takin’ in the sunshine, lookin’ at the city With my music on, and I come upon A sight that’s somethin’ to see Well it’s big and round like cakes on a griddle Pretty blue dome it’s risin’ in the middle And I rub my eyes, what a nice surprise How proud the people must be

{Chorus} The doma Tacoma (The doma Tacoma) Where the rockstars, ??? stars, gonna-make-it-big stars play The doma Tacoma (The dome Tacoma) Well it’s got a funny name but it’s gonna be famous some day Listen to what I say

Well I got two tickets and I got my little baby, gonna take her down to the Dome, say maybe For some rock and roll, or a country show, where they’re pickin’ and grinnin’ all night And if you have some friends who wanna hold a convention Wear their crazy hats and get wild not to mention A rodeo, I’ll go ya’know, everything gonna be right at

{Chorus}

{Chorus a few more times}

What’s the one word in the chorus, though? Is it “jock” stars?

There are captions available on the Youtube video…but apparently they’re Dutch. No idea why. I’ll save you the trouble of going to Google Translate and typing that bit in and just show you what I turned up:

I suppose if you’re going to put the stupid up for sale you may as well throw in that extra spray…

Seriously though, help us get the lyrics right? Let us know what you hear by leaving a comment below.
